It was not practicable to estimate the fair value of investment in unquoted equity due to the lack of comparable quoted prices in an active market and the fair value cannot be reliably measured. The table below analyses financial instruments carried at fair value, together with their fair values and carrying amounts shown in the statements of financial position.
